U.  S.  AGRICULTURAL  SOCIETY. 


At  a  meeting  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  United 
States  Agricultural  Society,  held  in  the  City  of  Washing- 
ton, in  February  last,  it  was  resolved  that  the  Society  would 
hold  no  Exhibition  in  any  State  having  a  State  Agricultural 
Society,  without  the  assent  of  the  Officers,  or  of  the  Ex- 
ecutive Committee  of  such  Society. 

The  citizens  of  Springfield,  Ohio,  having  requested  this 
Society  to  hold  an  Exhibition  of  Cattle,  at  that  place,  dur- 
ing the  current  year,  and  generously  subscribed  about  ten 
thousand  dollars  to  defray  all  the  expenses  of  the  same, 
and  to  guarantee  the  Society  against  loss ;  and  the  Executive 
Committee  of  the  Ohio  Agricultural  Society  uniting  in  the 
request,  the  Executive  Committee  of  this  Society  have  con- 
cluded to  hold  a  NATIONAL  SHOW  OF  CATTLE,  open 
to  general  competition,  without  sectional  limit,  on  the  25th, 
2Gth,  and  2Tth  days  of  October  next,  at  Springfield,  in 
the  State  of  Ohio ;  to  which  members  of  the  U.  S.  Agricul- 
tural Society  will  be  admitted  free  of  charge. 

The  friends  of  Agriculture  in  all  the  States  of  the  Ameri- 
can Union,  and  in  the  neighboring  provinces  of  Canada, 
are  invited  to  co-operate  with  us,  so  that  this  Exhibition 
may  be  the  more  extensively  useful,  and  be  alike  creditable 
to  the  generous  citizens  of  Springfield,  with  whom  it  origi- 


natecl — to  the  Contributors  and  Visitors,  who  sustain  it — 
and  to  the  United  States  Agricultural  Society,  who  are  so 
deeply  interested  in  its  success. 

In  consequence  of  the  holding  of  this  Show  of  Cattle, 
the  contemplated  Exhibition  of  Horses,  at  Springfield, 
Mass.,  and  the  Show  of  Sheep,  in  Vermont,  will  be  omitted. 

The  Journal  of  the  Society,  which  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee have  concluded  to  issue  once  in  each  year — four 
numbers  in  one — will  appear  in  January  next;  and  will 
contain  the  Transactions  of  the  Society  at  its  last  Annual 
Meeting,  the  Lectures  and  Addresses  delivered  at  that 
time,  a  full  and  fjithful  account  of  the  Springfield  Show, 
with  other  valuable  papers,  by  eminent  members.  This 
volume  will  be  forwarded  to  all  Members  who  have  paid 
their  annual  assessments  for  the  year  1854.

Stock  will  be  marked  with  cards  furnished  by  the  Secretary,  designating 
the  class  and  No.  of  entry;  and  Judges  will  report  by  such  numbers  and 
classes  ;  and  during  the  exhibition,  stock  must  be  placed  entirely  under  the 
management  of  the  Officers  of  the  Society. 

Premiums  will  not  be  paid  on  animals  removed  from  the  exhibition, 
unless  such  removal  has  the  special  approval  of  the  Local  Executive

The  Judges  are  requested  to  report  themselves  on  their  arrival  to  the 
Secretary,  at  the  business  office  on  the  show  grounds. 

They  are  desired  to  meet  at  the  olfice  at  10  o'clock,  A.  M.,  on  Wednes- 
day, October  25th,  when  vacancies  will  be  filled,  and  the  books  of  entry  be 
presented  ;  they  will  then  proceed  to  decide  upon  the  merits  of  the  dif- 
ferent animals  submitted  to  them,  reference  being  made  to  the  numbers 
affixed  to  each. 


n1 


The  Judges  will  feport,  not  only  the  animals  entitled  to  premiums,  but 
also  those  next  in  merit,  in  each  class,  to  meet  the  contingency  of  any  ob- 
jection which  may  arise  to  the  awards.  Any  animal  which,  in  the  opinion 
of  the  Judges,  deserve  a  special  commendation,  will  be  so  reported  to  the 
Local  Executive  Committee. 

.  The  Judges  will  have  regard  to  the  symmetry,  early  maturity,  size  and 
general  characteristics  of  the  several  breeds ;  they  will  make  proper  allow- 
ance for  age,  feeding,  and  other  circumstances  on  the  character  and  condi- 
tion of  the  animal.  They  are  expreasly  required  not  to  give  encouragement 
to  over-fed  animals  in  the  breeding  classes. 

The  Judges,  if  not  satisfied  as  to  tiie  regularity  of  the  entries  in  their 
respective  classes,  will  apply  to  the  Secretary  for  information ;  and  should 
there  be  any  doubt,  after  examination,  of  their  coming  within  the  regula- 
tions, or  if  any  animal  is  of  such  a  character  as  not  to  be  entitled  to  exhi- 
bition in  competition,  they  will  report  the  facts  to  the  Secretary,  for  the 
consideration  of  the  Executive  Committee,  that  such  course  may  be  adopt- 
ed as  the  case  may  require. 

No  person  who  is  an  exhibitor  can  act  as  a  judge  on  the  class  in  which 
he  exhibits.  And  during  the  examinations  of  the  Judges,  if  any  person 
interfere  with  them,  by  letter  or  otherwise,  th?y  will  ba  excluded  from  the 
competition. 

Judges  are  requested  to  hand  in  their  reports  on  Thursday  evening. 
The    Superintendents  are    required  to  take  particular  directions  of  all 
animals  in  their  respective  departments,  and  see  that  they  are  all  arranged, 
as  near  as  may  be,  in  numerical  order,  for  easy  approach  and  examination. 

A  Superintendent  will  accompany  each  aet  of  Judges,  point  out  the  dif- 
ferent animals  to  be  c^xhibited — will  attach  prize  cards  or  flags  to  the 
successful  animals  after  they  shall  be  notified  of  the  same  by  the  Secretary 
on  the  morning  of  Friday.  They  will  also  see  that  the  an  mals  are 
suitably  arranged  for  the  exhibition  of  each  day  and  the  procession  of 
Friday. 

It  is  expected  they  will  give  tiie  reasons  for  their  decisions,  embracing 
the  valuable  and  desirable  qualities  of  the  animals  upon  which  the  pre- 
miums are  awarded.  One  great  object  of  the  Society  is  to  collect  valuable 
information  upon  the  subject  matter  of  the  exhibition,  the  several  com- 
mittees are  requested  to  gather  all  the  information  possible  from  exhibitors 
in  their  classes,  and  make  their  reports  as  full  as  time  and  circumstances 
will  permit. 

Committees  shall  not  award  any  Discretionary  Premiums  without  the 
previous  permission  of  the  Local  Executive  Committee,  expressly  given 
through  the  Secretary. 

When  there  is  but  one  exhibitor,  although  he  may  show  several  animals 


in  tlie  samo  class  and  order,  only  one  premium  will  be  awarded;  that  to  be 
first  or  otlierwiso.as  the  merits  of  the  animal  may  be  adjudged. 

The  Committee  on  Milk  (-rtws  will  require  a  statement  to  show  that  the 
cow  has  been  kept  on  grass  only,  during  the  experiment,  and  for  fifteen 
days  previous  to  each  period  of  trial.

The  awards  of  premiums  will  be  read  by  the  Chairmen  of  the  respective 
Committees  on  Friday  morning,  at  10  o'clock.  The  Premium  Flags  will
